Save User Inputs while javascript reloading!

[aashcool198]

hi..

i have written a PHP code in which i reload the page when user selects a value in dropdown...

function reload(form)
{
var val=form.cat.options[form.cat.options.selectedIndex].value;
self.location='form.php?cat=' + val;
}

the problem with this script is that it can retain only the numbers which is the value of the selected item in the drop-down.I also want to retain the name field which is an input string. How can i do it?

var val=form.cat.options[form.cat.options.selectedIndex].value;
var name=form.cat.options[form.cat.options.selectedIndex].text;
self.location='form.php?cat=' + val + '&name='+ name;
}
